Gov. Mike DeWine announced his pick to replace Vice-President elect JD Vance in the Senate on Friday. Vance resigned from the chamber on Jan. 10, in advance of his inauguration.

"Every major decision I have made the last six years as governor of the state of Ohio, Jon Husted has played a part in that decision," DeWine said announcing his decision in Columbus with Husted beside him. "It should not be a shock that Jon and I might disagree on some things. But even in the cases where he saw things differently, my decision was informed, was helped by his input."

Husted served as Ohio's House speaker and secretary of state before he briefly ran against DeWine for governor. But he then joined DeWine as his running mate for the state's 2018 gubernatorial election.

Anyone from OH know much about him?

He cut a lot of the LG staff in OH.

The dems accused him of "voter suppression" so he must be OK.

If he has been a part of every major decision DeWine has made, I'm not holding out much hope that he'll be anything more than a milquetoast RINO turd.

I understand they disagreed a lot on financial policy.
